...gas generator in my 98 marlin, its bolted right infront of the battery bank. I replaced the original gen in 04 and had a fork lift set it in the boat after i removed the floor. Cant help you with the diesel tank or fuel guage but ill take a pic of the bilge next week and post it maybe it will...

Question...how do we fill fuel tank for winter and get the additives in balance? The "bar" fuel gauge seems to accurate, or inaccurate, to within ten gallons. Do we just guess on additive amounts and over treat? Does the fuel shoot out of the vent when the tank is full? Can more additive...

I am looking for another owner of a 305 express I may be able to talk with. I am closing out my first season with the boat and overall we are very very pleased. However I would like to compare notes on the performance numbers you are seeing compared to mine. I was seeing 27 knots/ 31 mph at...

I had exact same problem when I purchased my Grady, and 08 208/150/4 stroke. At about 10hours got "Water in Fuel" alarm. The problem is the Fuel/Water Separater on the Engine itself, it's located dead center forward section of the engine when you remove the cover. When I took it in to get...

If you are 62 years old like me, I suggest trusting your gas guage about as much as you trust you memory. Two weeks ago I used my boat for the first time since January. After going a quarter mile on the main tank that was reading 100% full, both motors cut off. I was able to get one motor...

I recently purchased a 2000 Grady Marlin. I have put about 20 hours total on the boat between trolling 1 engine at 2mph and cruising. The boat has twin 250 Yamaha Saltwater series engines and digital readouts. I have the dash board switch set on the auxillary tank. The gas gage on the...

i have a seafarer 226 with an evinrude 225. i want a fuel guage but somthing that tells me how much gas im burning any ideas thanks Chris

Tucker, the flow transducer is only about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and about the same in height. As I recall, they recommended putting it where it would not be damaged and the only requirement was that it had to be mounted vertically. On my Overnighter, I put it after the fuel/water...

The 2008 Evenrude 115HP E-Tech on my 175 has plenty of power. When conditions allow, I normally cruse 25MPH @ 4,000RPM. Max RPM is 6,000 for this engine. If new and operation cost is a factor, the 115 will burn less fuel/oil and initial purchase price is less. Last year Evenrude had purchase...

Brutus - I think you are very wise to be verifying that the alarms work. I had a motor a few years ago that did the system check when you turned the key on but when I really needed it, no alarm sounded. Engine just died. Thought I had an e-10-caused fuel problem so I restarted the motor...

I got the vertical bar POS fuel guage. It showed 1-bar so I fill it up. Only takes 47 gal. The tank holds 82 gal so that means there were 35 gal left and only 1-bar on the fuel guage. With 5-bars being full do I just use experience and take notes as to how long I'm on 1-bar before it starts...

I don't think so. A normal American sender will present 30 ohms at full and about 230 at empty. No ground looks like infinite ohms or above 230 so, the guage reads empty. A short to ground reads zero ohms, well above 30 and results in a reading of Full. A bad ground will be somewhere in...

You're right on with fuel and oil consumption. I run a NAVMAN fuel consumption guage on my '81 22 Bimini w/200 HPDI and get between 1.8 and 2.2 NM/Gal, depending on load, sea conditions, wind, etc. 50:1 oil use is good, too. Love my NAVMAN.

Hello all... Over the next few weeks I'm going to be building a custom dashboard on my 99 Grady Sailfish 28. As a part of this project I'm literally going to grind off the radio box of my helm, build and fiberglass in a new box/dash to support a pair of Garmin 7012's. Along with this...

...afternoon, the starter motor turned over very slowly, the volt meter on the instrument panel went from about 13 volts to about 8, the fuel guage went from empty (off) to full, and my oil tank guage went from empty (off) to full. The bendix gear did not engaged the flywheel. The motor is a...

More help needed trouble shooting a faulty fuel guage or sending unit. Can anyone tell me why a Yamaha instrument fuel guage reads at it's lowest level and flashing, when the tank is full? Thanks in advance for your help. IN GOD WE TRUST ORCA

Thanks for your reply. My main concern was the location of this battery to the fuel tank and fuel sending unit access panel. The fuel tank is directly under the floor of the center console and although there is a seperation between the floor area of the console and the electrical fuse panel...

The digital display on my Fuel mngmnt gauge went out on me this weekend. I didnt expect it to last too long, (it looked like it suffered some previous damage when I took possession of the boat last year) As far as I can tell, its just the digital display. Its trying to display a reading but its...

...and after towing the boat around for about an 1hr on the trailer, I raised the trailer tounge as high as possible and then removed the fuel guage sender(s) and pumped out all of the old fuel. Caution here --- Only remove the sender if the tank level is lower than 1/2 the capacity. I used a...

I've been fighting a problem with my '97 Gulfstream for abot 3 months now. I've drained, acutally pumped out both tanks and run Seafoam thru both. The problem has been the use of the Aux 56 Gal tank. EVERY Time I switch to this tank I end up with junk in the carbs. I've already pulled and...
